And, yes you can go with the ceramics brakes as an option I believe.

Remember its a parts bin special so pretty much anything that's available on a C4S will be available on this car in all likelihood

PTS color Schiefergrau uni 6601 would be my choice for any 911.

I know that we're all getting ahead of ourselves stating or speculating about GTS specs and prices, but I just want to make sure I'm thinking right . . . We'd expect the GTS's base price to be above the S model's base price. But we'd expect that a GTS would cost less than a comparatively spec'd S. Is that right?

That was true with the 997.2 GTS. But remember to include X-51 in the price of the comparable "S" that you spec. Just about every S option was available on the GTS. Once you got past the basic GTS package, everything else cost the same as it did on the S.

So, for example, the std interior is alcantara. You want full leather? It was available, at the same price as full leather in an S. Want PDK? Same story. Center lock wheels were standard, but 5 bolt wheels were a NO COST option. (How often do you see that from Porsche?)

Frankly, I expect the 991 GTS option list to be identical to the S option list, with the exception of X-51, which also includes SC and PSE. The base 997.2 GTS included X-51, alcantara, wide body, a different (lower) front, and center lock wheels and cost LESS than a base S with X-51 added. I fully expect PDK, PDCC, SPASM, etc to cost just as much extra on the GTS as on the S. Maybe Porsche will throw the sport mirrors into the deal. I very much doubt that we'll see the sport buckets (brand new to the GT3) available on the GTS.

But hey, we've all been wrong before...

I'm kinda *hoping* that they might be an option on the N.A cars, as I am sure the 'old' Sport Buckets will be an option on the RoW cars...

Will the seat belts from the Boxster GTS be offered on the 991 GTS? They sure look cool!
